Chapter 483 483 Raiding the Woolly Bear Ships
The nuclear submarine force is like a ghost, making it difficult for the Black Sea Fleet to trace it at all, and the naval air fleet in the sky also drops large-range anti-ship missiles as much as possible outside the defense zone, making the Black Sea Fleet particularly aggrieved. Originally, their sailors were not in a state, and this time they could not have any impact on the Chinese expeditionary fleet at all.
The Chinese warships cruising on the Black Sea, the ship that is pulled out and KO the Black Sea Fleet in minutes, to put it mildly, even a frigate like 054A, which is mainly used for anti-submarine purposes, can fight a good battle against the flagship cruiser of the Black Sea Fleet, the Glorious Cruiser.
At this moment, there is no need for surface ships to come together, like medieval knights, to put themselves in position and use anti-ship missiles and naval guns to confront the Black Sea Fleet. During the war for the liberation of Taiwan in those years, the commander saved face for the Taiwan fleet, and the two sides bombarded each other at such close range. Therefore, there is such a conventional rule in the navy now, which can make the enemy invisible to the enemy before he has been killed, and never reveal his appearance to the enemy.
Originally, there were only a few warships of the Black Sea Fleet leaving the port, and after being locked on by the attacking nuclear submarines and naval aviation fighters in succession, they were almost completely damaged and had no power to resist. At this time, more fighters from the Shandong aircraft carrier also arrived on the battlefield, watching their comrades-in-arms ravage the warships of the Black Sea Fleet out of port, thick black smoke rising, and the wreckage of the ships floating on the water, quite regretting that they came late.
"There's no more here, there's still a nest of ships in the harbor, everyone can cook meat today!"
"But Sevastopol is also a place for Ukraine, what if we just hit the port and pull Ukraine in?"
The pilots were also quite hesitant, and this kind of thing could only be decided by Zhang Lingzhong, who was in command. Zhang Lingzhong also immediately sent a message to Ukraine through the pipeline, the words are very simple, just one meaning, are you enemies? If it's an enemy, we'll beat you, and if it's not an enemy, then don't hide a bunch of disobedient people in the harbor.
The miserable end of the Black Sea Fleet is clear to the Ukrainians. In fact, the real identity of the Black Sea Fleet at this time is the joint fleet of Russia and Ukraine, but Ukraine wishes that it has nothing to do with the Black Sea Fleet at this time. The sea area outside the port is already a mess, Baldin, Kravchenko and others do not know whether they are alive or dead, and Ukraine is trembling up and down, for fear that the powerful Chinese navy will burn the flames of war on their heads.
Ukrainian President Kravchuk immediately telegraphed Defense Minister Morozov to resolve the situation before China angered Ukraine and attacked Ukraine.
What can Morozov do? In the end, the defense minister gritted his teeth and sent ground troops into Sevastopol, and the navy that did not leave the port was like a goldfish locked in a fish tank, beautiful and beautiful, but useless at all. The sailors of the Black Sea Fleet, who were already slack, saw that their comrades who had the courage to fight were beaten out of the port as soon as they left the port, and they didn't dare to fight at this time, and when they saw the Ukrainian soldiers rushing in, they simply walked out of their respective ships or buildings and surrendered in a queue.
There was little resistance in the process, because the backbone were beaten to death by the Chinese in the waters outside the port.
As soon as Morozov saw that these people were under control, he immediately called Lieutenant General Zhang Ling, saying that the Black Sea Fleet was taken by Ukraine because of disobedience to orders, and the Black Sea Fleet would not participate in the conflict between China and Russia.
Zhang Lingzhong couldn't help but chuckle after hearing the news, he didn't let go of the Black Sea Fleet so easily, before the expedition, Zhang Lingzhong and Comrade Qi, director of the Strategy Bureau, also had a long conversation, and the focus of the discussion was not how to fight this battle, because this is Zhang Lingzhong's matter, but what the Russian army should be like after the war.
In Qi Yiming's assumption, after the end of this war, Russia's military will be seriously harmless. Nearly all nuclear weapons will be controlled and taken away by China, a large amount of advanced military equipment will be destroyed in the war, and the industrial base that supports it will be robbed incidentally.
Among the four major fleets of the Red Navy, the Pacific Fleet has been completely subcontracted by the Far East, the Baltic Fleet has the same as not, and the Northern Fleet is not easy to intervene, but the Black Sea Fleet will eat it whole if it says anything, which can forcefully eliminate Russia's strength in the Mediterranean.
Based on such a strategic idea, Zhang Lingzhong was unforgiving and once again issued a request to Ukraine: In view of the restlessness of the Russian army, the Chinese Navy hopes to send a small number of marines to Sevastopol to watch over the Russian army's surrender together with Ukraine; Centralized monitoring of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet in order to prevent the recurrence of situations that would hinder the fighting of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet.
These two proposals are a bit detrimental to the dignity and sovereignty of the country, and the Ukrainians are also angry after hearing it, but Ukraine has no way to refuse China now, because the expeditionary fleet is floating on the Black Sea, and who knows if China will be angry and take Ukraine as a target. Although the situation in Ukraine is now a little better than that of Russia, if it is really a war, then it will definitely be abolished in the end.
Ukrainian President Kravchuk finally agreed to the Chinese's request to allow a battalion-sized Chinese Marine Corps to enter Sevastopol to guard Russian sailors and ships.
It's just that this matter is not over yet, and it didn't take long for Zhang Lingzhong to put forward a new proposal, worried that the ships of the Black Sea Fleet would be sabotaged by Soviet and Russian spies in Sevastopol, and that they would be used by people with intentions, so he hoped to tow away the ships belonging to Russia.
This is blatant robbery!
Thirty percent of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet were sunk in the naval battle that day, and seventy percent remained in Sevastopol.
So Ukraine was forced to conduct a "spoils negotiation" with China, and Ukraine, which relied on China's breath in all aspects, finally got 30% of the remaining ships, which was actually more than what Ukraine and Russia negotiated ****** in 1996, and Ukraine was also satisfied, mainly including 1 Christa-class cruiser, 2 Kashin-class destroyers, 3 Krivak-class frigates, 4 Grisha-class corvettes, 6 K-class (Kilo) and T-class submarines, and several frigates and missile boats.
With the size of the country of Ukraine, such a fleet of navies is already very good. Of course, there are also problems, that is, the combat performance and age of these ships are generally not very good, and after about ten or twenty years, if the economic situation in Ukraine does not improve, it may encounter a situation where no ships are available. The fact is about the same, Ukraine is building almost no new ships in another plane.
And what Qi Yiming obtained by plundering the Black Sea Fleet, although the PLA can't look down on it, these ships can be recovered by crushing cranes, and at least a few Type 055 Aegis cruisers can be built to play. What's more, Qi Yiming got a ship from the Black Sea Fleet, not to simply ask for ships, but to weaken Russia.
Although the Chinese Navy's record of inflicting heavy losses on the Black Sea Fleet in the Black Sea has attracted widespread attention around the world, many people are still shocked by the Chinese Navy's powerful combat capabilities.
"In the largest naval confrontation since World War II, the young Chinese Navy won a complete victory." The New York Times article portrayed the naval fight as the world's new heavyweight boxer, knocking out an old boxer who had won a lot of glory but was already faltering with one punch.
Many media believe that the collapse of the Black Sea Fleet is another footnote to Russia's accelerated decline. Russia has lost the lining and face of being a great power, and has become a country that was once prosperous in the past and has only pathos today.
Of course, since this incident, more and more Western media and reporters have begun to put forward a new thing -- the "China threat theory."
"We can't help but think with concern that once as an ally of the Western civilized world against the Soviet Union, it has quietly possessed terrible force, and even we have reason to fear that a strong China is even more terrible than a strong Soviet Union. Compared to a few years ago, China was content to abide by the international order, and today is a country that is violent, loves to use force, and likes to do things on its own. This should have something to do with the state system of its CPC dictatorship, although China has shown a certain trend of democratic reform and liberalization in recent years, this country is still surrounded by autocracy and brutality, and we should always be vigilant, after the Soviet Union, the biggest culprit that may threaten the free world may be our former ally, China. The British "Times", which has always had very cold and even hostile relations with China, commented that the hostility and demonization jumped on the page.
Through the spread and exaggeration of public opinion, the people of many Western countries who originally supported China's military dispatch to solve the brutal and dangerous Makashev also began to have a kind of distrust and worry about China.
Qi Yiming didn't have any special emotions when he learned about this situation, but sighed: "The day has come when China and these 'allies' will drift apart. ”
However, it has nothing to do with what the West's mouthballs say, and he is still focused on fighting Makashev and weakening Russia's power. The Navy kicked off the stumbling block of the Black Sea Fleet, and the Black Sea zone has become an important base for China's firepower projection in the southwest of Russia.
Aegis warships are constantly firing Long Sword cruise missiles at Soviet and Russian military camps and military facilities in Russia, and fighter planes and attack planes taking off from aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships are also attacking Soviet and Russian troops in waves. Qi Yiming wanted to see the two ways at the same time, the situation of strategic firepower suppression had been successful, and Makashev's pressure was enough to make him collapse.
